Casper drone needs more range + other suggestions

Casper has a problem, part of his kit is not playing the game, but staying in a corner watching a laptop, this is problematic because the player can get into the conclusion that playing Casper is a waste of time (Unless you are camping)

I am aware that the range was there because the EMP could be used against vehicles in the past, but that is not available anymore.

The current range for the Dron's E.M.P is around  30 meters to work

1-. Range.

Since disabling vehicles with the EMP is gone, it would be great for the characters sandbox to buff the range, taking in count that in the past we had the MAV drone from BF4 that had a lot of range, so just double the range and everyone will be happy since 30 Mts. is laughable

(Also the MAV drone had a build in motion sensor so, we wont be mad if you do too)

2-. Speed and maneuverability

The Drone is very slow, specially if you to close the gap to a gadget to destroy it, most of the time is more quick to just walk and shoot it yourself. (This is important since buffing the speed will result on wasting less time)

3-. C5 Drone

To avoid this from making a return make it so when the drone has C5 attached it cannot be used, just like when people could fly on the drone?  Same with C5 (You can still do this with the EOD robot tho)

4-. Thermal camera

When entering an deployed drone there is a cool-down on the EMP.  if the drone has a cool-down on his EMP the player cannot access the thermal vision. removing that will upgrade the acquisition of targets to ping

(I have to point out that when exiting the drone the EMP was ready to fire)

Thanks for reading, my previous post about Irish´s trophy system was not so popular, so please let me know your opinion. (even if you are against the things i talk about) so we can hopefully call the attention of the ones above us.

  • The point of the drone is to supplement Recon in a pretty straightforward way. He spots everything and when using the drone in matches you can quite literally see teammates adjust fire in real time based on what you are pointing out with it. 

    You arent getting the kills and takedowns sure, but youre directly influencing matches with intel. In that respect he is balanced.

    I agree with your observation but that's not the point of my post.

    indeed spotting has always been very powerful on battlefield games (nobody is discussing that) i also acknowledge that you are fairly new to the game (20 hours aprox. shows the battle-tracker) but once you really start to play Casper you get into his limitations very quickly.

    he is not friendly with a fast capture-the-point game-style and that sucks because the Dron has a lot of potential. most of the time if i try to use Casper alongside my friends they always end up waiting for me or just asking why i´m still most of the time, i think a good version of Casper it would be one that could be as versatile as possible

    i also acknowledge that his appearance would suggest that he is a "sneaking" character, but intentionally doing that would be negative to the contribution on the match (aka camping on a 40 minute game and getting 8 kills)

    He also has an proximity radar that is extremely helpful on a fast-phase game-style, having that alongside the capacity to pick up assault rifles or even smg´s makes Casper a very solid pick.

    the drone is the only part (and pretty much the identity of Casper) that is not matching the rest of his kit´s phase and i honestly think it wouldn't be anything but positive for everyone if he gets some love

    Casper is a good character, and i would love for him to be more than the character that campers use.

     

  • casper is another useless character on the game.
    he's only good to spot enemies with drone, nothing more.
